I wonder if the Ducks will test that hand with a little wack. Tonight's game has potential to go ballistic.

That's another reason I'm surprised. Throwing him in against the Ducks? You think Corey Perry gives any (frank)s?

Hopefully Ferland or Engellund is on the ice whenver Johnny is. If somebody even breathes on Johnny one of those guys should just pound the piss out of them. Dallas makes way more sense as a place to start IMO...

If anyone is going to be a douche out there it will be kesler

They modified his gloves.

Every player in the league knows which finger it is as they showed it on the broadcast. If this were the playoffs, you know they'd go right after it. I think the refs will call anything that looks remotely slashy tonight. For the first time in a couple of years I wish Bollig was in the lineup.

- Yeah...Baby

Could take him a bit to get used to new mitts

Especially being new and different than he's used to

They should move Versteeg on Bennet's spot and have Bennett centre that line. Stajan centres the fourth.

A little bit of vodka, a little bit of whiskey, and a little bit of beer... Man I am so (frank)ed for today lol

Plan to watch some game of thrones till noon, and then "hopefully" sleep off the morning drunk until just before game time... then drink again!!!

We'll see how it works. Normally I don't drink this much but I just lost my best buddy of 17 years, so I'm down in the bottom of a bottle today..

Music, liquor, green if you got it, and Johnny Hockey. Let go to the healing process!

And naps.

Man, I kind of wish they would've given Johnny this game off. Those pieces of poop Bieksa and Kesler are going to be all over his hands/wrists. I hope that new glove protects his hand, he's going to need it tonight.

What a recovery though! That's pretty incredible that he's ready this fast. Unless they're rushing him back, in which case I don't understand why they would considering the team has played fairly well without him.

Flames win 4-3. JH with two goals and two assists.

Johnny did say that the doctors have told him it will be harder to re-break that finger than it would be to break the other 9...so I guess we'll have to just trust that the Flames are doing the right thing here.

The Flames wouldn't be playing him if he wasn't 100%. He's our star player, and they'd much rather have him fully healed than go out there and get injured again so he's out for longer.

If the doctors say he's good to go, play him. Every team in the League tries to be physical with him so by that logic we should never play him. And to everyone thinks he's going against the doctors, management talks to the doctors too.

I should be on the ice with Johnny at all times, I can protect him

Any word on whose out for Johnny and what the lines might be ?

I don't think he'd want your type of protection.

With an avi like yours, I don't think "protect" is the proper would for the smothering action you'd attempt.

I mean im 6 ft 2, 215 pounds. Probably 11-12 percent body fat. I'd fight anyone who touches hum. I might try to kiss him every nkw and then but I would protect him first and foremost.
